I never tnew a lady to be anvtins lsa in the ere of her lover. Foe my own part I thought Angelina was an angel. I have grown older since, and bare discovered exactly the difference between a woman and one of those serial indd&cftbables. At that time I was loo impressible and impulsive to be ob.ervant. v ' I originally saw AnIina in Union Park, and mj heart, inflioifaable as tinder, was in a Same la an iostant. My earnest gaze attracted her at- -tentioa. Finallv it confused her. In ibis con fasion she ran against tbe end of one of the benches, and fell opon the walk.

No hope of gratifying my curiosity in that particular. :."-- What shall t do? I never was remarkable for diffidence; so I easily convinced myself that the lady was Angelina, and stepping up to her, ad dressed her by that name. She made uo reply, except by a slight laugh. This assured me she was indulging ia a coquettish trick. I was not to be deceived in that manner. I persevered, therefore, rattling away all sorts of pretty nun" feiise, and telling her iu every possible manner how I idolized her. Good graciousl how elo queut I felt, and ho a happy. In this manner we proceeded up one street and down another, until we reached the Second Ave uue and .Nineteenth street. I did not know where Angelina lived. She had never told roe. She had forbiddeu roe to see ber the whole way home. But I knew she lived ir. Second Avenue. On this occasion I implored my silent companion, since it whs after ttght, to perrhtt me to es' c 'it her to the door. Silence gives consent, you know, and I did it. She paused in front of a large arid noble dwelling.

SSe entered the front basement a species of S tting room and thence glided .through into the r-nr Imsement, which was a kitcheu. I was cI j-sp at hv-r heels. ; The ga was burning brigV.tly in the kitchen; ut I nver stopped to think of my dilemma, and seiiing het Vjv the hand , murmured: "Oh I Angelina, how delightful yoa mak me." She threw off her bonrtet and veil, and by Jove! she Was a total stranger. I had never seen her before! did not lose my self' possession, however. On the contrary, t threw rhyself into a chair and "a tijhed beftrtily;, although ray heart was rapidly inaking an exploring expedition away down into n boots. . My corojianiort happened to b a good looking young woman, evidebtly a domestic tn the house in question. My assurance astonished her at first, bat recovering herself, she asked if she should call for assistance, to pitch mt into the street. In the moat insinuating terms possible, I painted to her my mistake, implored her to for-trive me, and protested I had the rodSt remote idea of insulting one whom t Was Convinced was as pure as she was beautiful. That little piece of flattery secured -my favor. She forgave me. pointed to the door -and desired ,me to go, as she expected every moment a message from the par lor above in regard to lunch. I thanked her And turned to depart. Jost as I stepped toward the kitchen door,! heard the sound of feet descending the stairs. How should I escape? Where should I fly too? Quick as thought I darted into a tall closet that stood in the corner of the room. The upper part contained three shelves, but the lower part afforded me space enough to crowd into, doubled up. The girl immediately close.! the door on me and buttoned it. I did not feel very comfortable fastened up in that" box.. Suppose I should not be let out. But all fear of this was lost in still ereater apprehension, when I heard the voice of the male individual who had entered the kitchen I concluded to remain quietly where I was. As soon as he departed, the jrirl came to roe, and unbuttoning the door told me I had made a fortunate escape, and told me that if I did not wish to compromise both her and myself. I had bet er come out.of that dumb waiter and begone "Dumb-waiter I I exclaimed. "Am I in a dumb waiter, and liable to . be hoisted up in a twinkling to the parlor? ' Here was a fright. I nncoiled myself to escape; but just as I rose, away went the dumb. waiter to the ceiling with myself inside. The jar of the firt movement threw me back. I had no time to recover my feet and leap. I could but pull the door to as the box ascended, while th laiightef that am eted the girl in the kitchen went to.my hvart, aud smote me with a feeling akin to madness. I would have sold myself at that moment for three cents of any decent man's money You may ffttess exactly bo 1 looked when the dumb waiter having reached the dining room floor above, I beard the soond of half a dozen voices.

Anhie Linton was the best sewer in Mrs. Iioj's school; and the mistress declared, on inspecting the first shirt she made for her father, "That the Duke of Buccleuch ' himself might wear it!" This was high praise for little Annie, who was only eleven years of age; and she never forgot it, 'j Her work was the neatest and cleanest ever seen; : Then she did it so quickly, her mother could not keep p ice with her daily demand for "something to sew;" - "t wish Annie would take to her book," said tra. Linton to her husband, 3u. it was quite clear that Annie would never take-to her book; she had little reading and less spelling; and yet she could "mark" (rith cotton) all thd letters of the alphibet, ai if she was a very miracle of learning. - 'SSomeibiag to sew?" edgerly demanded An-n iei : ' -. . "AV'itlany mowing come to this sewing?" ask ed her father, with a very natural attempt at a pun. ' - v'"-.'"'-' ' ." - .'v ".-"' ''Those who do not sew sjjall not reap;" said little Anniej cJeVerly taking up her father's meait ng and her work bag at the same time, as she A-hiske l. past him in fear of being too late for school. Three week after: "Annie's learning to be a scholar," said Mrs. Linton; "no more demands for Sewing. - That afternoon Annie came boun ding into' the house . from school, sat upon her father's knee, opened her work-bag, which hung over ber arm, and putting a screwed up paper into, his hand, said; There's the mowing." Her father nndid the paper, and fydnd four half-crowns. "Annie," questioned her father, 'where did this come from?" - "From the sewing," answered Annie, laugh ing delightedly at his surprise, as she escaped from his knee, and ran out of the room, to de lay a little longer the solution of the riddle. . , " "Wife," said John Linton, "it is impossible that, Annie could earn all this by tbe sort ot child's play girls cull work; and whom did she earn it from? I'm afraid there's something wrong." And, to tell the truth, Annie .Linton was practising a little disguise; nor had she given her father all the money she had earned. The 8ura originally was twelve shillings. This as; all designed for her father aloue j but a prior claim had jome in the way. It was cold wiuter weather, and the children of the school brought their forms, in a sort of square, around Mrs. Roy's fire. Annie, who was a favorite of the j mistress, always occupied a warm corner close to ber own big chair. On the day ia question, Mrs. Roy happened to be ontof tbe room' TU change seats with you, Jessie Wilson, if; yon're cold," said Annie, addressing a little girl, a very book worm, who, clad in a threadbare printed cotton gown, sat sbiverirg over her les-Bon. ' v "' . " Jessie, thus invited, came a little nearer. "You should put on a woolen frock like mine, and warm yonrself well at your mother's fire before yon come to school these winter days," said Annie, Scrutinizing the poverty-struck ap pearance of lhe girl. "Mother says," replied Jessie, "that she'd rather do without a Ere than my schooling, and she Jcan't pay for both.'' "flas your mother nO fire at home this cold wea'her ?'' asked Annie, in amazement. "No," said Jessie; "I wish I dared bring her with me here- it's warmer thai) at home. And I know mother is ill, though she won't tell me." "Sit there," said Annie, plaeing Jessie in her warm corner ; "and don't go out of school with out me.". ". . " -. . That afternoon the two girls Went! hand in hand to Jessie's door. "flave you plenty to eat, if you've no fire ?" asked Annie. "This is the first day. mother has been forced to send me to school without any breakfast," said Jessie, hanging down her head, as if ashamed of the Confession. " "Here," said Annie, after a slight pause, nn twistme the paper in which were deposited her first; earnings ; "I won't go in with yon, tor your mother might not like to take it from a little girl like me ; but" and she put two shillings into Jessie's band "that is to buy yon something to eat, anda fire and, and, if your mother can sew as well as I cu," said Annie, with pardonable vanity, '"I can tell her bow to get plenty of mon ey to pay for both." No wonder Annie's riches increased ; the first investment was a good one. Nevertheless, the concealing it irom her parents she knew to be wron f be feared the w would disapprove of it ; and she added to her little prayer at night, after the osnal ending of -God bless father and motherand forgive me for keeping secret that I helped Jessie Wilson." Could the Recording Angel Carry ftp a purer prayer to Heaven? Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Linton very soon dis covered that Mr. Seam well,- of the "Ready-made Linen -Warehouse' Was tbe graod source of An nte'i ealth". He said there as no one who could work like ber, sTrfd 'said that He would give eighteen pence each for he finest description of Bnin.Tnaicing. xnts wars no great payment K.r Annie's eXqniisite stitching and thirty years ago it would" hae brougbt ber three-and sixpence a shirt. Bat Annie it of the present, not of the psi ; and as she could complete a sbiri a day, ber, fingers flying awifter than a weaver's shuttle, she jeared nine shillings' week.- - "Good wife," said Mr. Linton, wwW aYe not 6" poof but that we can nrafutatn ottr daughter an til ibe's twenty, and by that fume, tl tbe present rate of ber earnings,- she will have a iiule for' ttrae in the bank.'

Sometime after, there waj a great day of re-joiciog in the firm orSeamwell & Co. The father had taken bis son as a partner, and the son took a partner for life te indefatigable little seamstress, Annie Linton? There never: was a blither bridal. Annie herself having rien from tbe ranks had a present fojT;rvery work-woman. Indeed, it was a day of presents, for" on that very morning, and in time to beworn at the wedding, a shawl arrived for Annie, all the way from In" dia an Imli;i shawl that a, duchess would have envied I Upon it was pinmSd a paper, on which was written: "Wear this for the sake of one who is now rich and happy, but who never can forget the services you rendered to the poor School girl Jessie Wilson." . . . . ------ ? -. - , "Annie," said yoUhg Seam well after the rhai-- riage, "I fell in love with ' yoa when you were a child, and came to our shop, with your first sew. iog, I also happened to be passing when yon gave a part of your first earnings to Jessie Wilson; I was a boy then, but I said to myself: 'If I Were a manj I'd marry Annie Linton; not because she's so pretty' here Annie blushed most becomingly- 'not because she's SO industrious, but she's So kind hearted. " "WHEN I All DEAD;' In the dim crypts of the heart, where despair abideth, these words seem .written. A strange meaning a solemn IhVimatSon unfolds itself id their utterance. Four jeim pie aaonosyllables ; how much of gloom ye convey I How ye speak in funeral tones of the extinguishment of earth ly hope of tbe spirit that ha3 Struggled in vain, and is painfully quiet bow 1 : " When I am 'dead!" is uttered calmly; but what a calm 1 sncb as the tornado leaves, when silence broods above desolation. The voice r ro tt uncing that despairing phmsjs, has not all its mournfulness from 'itself. The listening ear hears something more; for from those words the groan of high aspirations quenched, and hopes pale and bleeding opon the sharp rocks of adversity, come np, phantom-like, amid the ghastly scenes of the buried past. "When I jua demrW'a nave beard it often like the pealing bell that tolls the body of the departed to its final rest. Tho last word, "dead" lingers strangely, and echoes sadly in the ear, and through the portals of the sympathising soul. Dead dead dead and the world grows gray, and the heart stills, aod the eye moistens, to that mysterious sound. - The spirit trenjjles before the rushing flood of conflicting emotions which follow the dark echo, and essays to glance through its import. But the echo fades amid encircling mist, and the spirit tarns back confused with blindness. . Even "the echo of death cannot be penetrated. The few feet of mould; that composes the grave are wider than the globe, higher than the stars. Not the "mind's eye, nor the- anxious soul can glance through the barrier the boundary between Time and Eternity, 'When I am dead!" More or less significance, resignation, or dependent wo, a fulfilment Of nature, or a perversion of its end, may these Words express, trlrftfgh Sad tHc'y at-e at best. " When the aged in an, whose Steps b ave grown feeble in ibe walks of goodness; " and whose band trembles . with tlie fruits' of his oft given charity, utters those word, they fall from bis lips as a prayer to Heaven; In therh", bis will harmonizes with his destiny; and the tear that starts for a superior soul -about to leave its clay; glistens in the light of happiness that gleams out of the heart, at the prospective reward of the future.' . - The lips, too. that never pressed the rim of the fount of Nature's- Poesy, may murmur, 'When I am dead!" but death to such an One is better, perhaps, than life. ; His heart hofds no music, chiming in .cadences to weal and wo his inward, existence is void, and. the rough, surface of his beitg. checkered, though not brightened, by stray half thoughts, darkens but little by the panoply of the tomb. " How diflvrent when youth, glowing with beau ty of soul and heart, rich with the treasurers of mind, and warm with sympathy for all of loveliness, sighs like the South wind, "When I am dead." A spirit seems to wail its end then; and an eclipse of tbe hoon-tide sun to fall upon the picture of a high naturechecked in its purposes turned from its dulcet waves upon a coral reef, gainst the rocks' of a destructive" shore. .. 1.111 .

There is a very old and beautiful story, that has formed the staple for poems in many tongues that we wish we could worthily tell. It is of one sailing upon the sea, in a 6leep without a dream. The ship was wrecked and shattered, and yet be slept. Tbe waves bore bim like an infant in a cradle, upon the plank whereon he lay, and when he awoke, it was with music, and upon .a couch of flowers. Tbe shore was strange yet lovely, and thronged with thousands who proclaimed him king. It seemed as if they had awaited him, waif tho' he was, for there was a throne witboat an occn-pant, and royal robes for his arraying. . All human wills seemed merged in bis, and glory shone around bim, even as the Sun of that fair,. unclouded clime. At length, there came to bim a reverend man, who told bim the time would , come, when exiled from bis kingdom, and powerless as be came, there would 'none so poor to do him reverence.' But, continued the aged sage, beyond the clouds that skirt this lovely land, lie unseen islands bare and drear j no fouutains sparkle and no flowers perfume j no music, bat the Wail of winds and waves do shelter, bat the shadow of a rock. Thither will they banish thee, and there thou must make thy inevitable home; But now, thou art supremely blest ; slaves do thy bidding, and gold strews thy pathway like the sand. So, seek that island out; cause the rock to be smitten, that it may gush with living water ; send fragrant flowers from tfcy gardens and spicy trees from forests ; tet the amaranth be iransplanted, and the palm shed pleasant shade, till the wilderness shall be glad for them, and 'the desert blossom as the rose.' Build there a royal mansion and fill it with all things pure and beautiful, that surround the now ; so shall thou have a Paradise at last, and go rejoicing into exile. The king was wise, and while he cherished the realm he ruled, yet sought the island, and 'colo nized,' as it were, the half of his heart Spring was persuaded to come that way, and-she hung her tube an the trees he had planted, and left her breath on the gate. The music of birds, aud fountaias, and winds among the leaves, floated round the new palace he had builded ; but noth ing of ail this had he ever beheld. Years went on, and the old royal glories grew dim, and tbe crown was tarnished, and, there was another wreck, a new king came sleeping to the shore, and he that had ruled in a palace, was not suffered so much as a shelter, for he was an exile, as the sage had prophesied. 'But he went not with a heavy heart, for sometimes, when the wind blew from the unseed shore, it had borne to him the fragrance of orange and : balm, and so be knew that his gardens were growing beautiful for his coming. And he laid oif tbe purple, like one disrobing for pleasant dreams, and put down the sceptre as if it had been a burden, and went away to his unseen home -with a 'good by' on bis lip, but a smile on his eye. : : And though none have seen the Eden he dwells in, yet sailors driven out to sea, declare that sometimes sweet odors have been wafted across the deck, from an unseen land, and by it they know that the gardens of Exile are near.

Tea, as the morning beverage, when breakfast forms a good substantial meal, upon which the powers of the day of meeting the various chan ces and changes of life depend, provided it be not too strong, is much to be recommended ; but when individuals eat little, coffee Certainly up. ports them in a more decided manner; and, be sides this, tea, without ascertain quantity of solid aliment, is much more likely to influence the nervous system. Some persons, if thev drink tea in the morning and coffee at night, suffer mnch in the animal spirits and in power of enjoyment of the pleasures of sosiety; but if they reverse the system, and take coffee in the morning and tea st night, they reap benefit from the change ; for the coffee, which to 'hem tri the morning is nutritious, becomes a stimulus at night; and the tea., which acts as a dilutent at night, gives noth ing to support exertions during the dav.

I never tnew a lady to be anvtins lsa in the ere of her lover. Foe my own part I thought Angelina was an angel. I have grown older since, and bare discovered exactly the difference between a woman and one of those serial indd&cftbables. At that time I was loo impressible and impulsive to be ob.ervant. v ' I originally saw AnIina in Union Park, and mj heart, inflioifaable as tinder, was in a Same la an iostant. My earnest gaze attracted her at- -tentioa. Finallv it confused her. In ibis con fasion she ran against tbe end of one of the benches, and fell opon the walk. I flew to the rsscoe, and lifted , her to kt feet. She was not Ltirt, thotrgh act eoortiSed.

No hope of gratifying my curiosity in that particular. :."-- What shall t do? I never was remarkable for diffidence; so I easily convinced myself that the lady was Angelina, and stepping up to her, ad dressed her by that name. She made uo reply, except by a slight laugh. This assured me she was indulging ia a coquettish trick. I was not to be deceived in that manner. I persevered, therefore, rattling away all sorts of pretty nun" feiise, and telling her iu every possible manner how I idolized her. Good graciousl how elo queut I felt, and ho a happy. In this manner we proceeded up one street and down another, until we reached the Second Ave uue and .Nineteenth street. I did not know where Angelina lived. She had never told roe. She had forbiddeu roe to see ber the whole way home. But I knew she lived ir. Second Avenue. On this occasion I implored my silent companion, since it whs after ttght, to perrhtt me to es' c 'it her to the door. Silence gives consent, you know, and I did it. She paused in front of a large arid noble dwelling.

SSe entered the front basement a species of S tting room and thence glided .through into the r-nr Imsement, which was a kitcheu. I was cI j-sp at hv-r heels. ; The ga was burning brigV.tly in the kitchen; ut I nver stopped to think of my dilemma, and seiiing het Vjv the hand , murmured: "Oh I Angelina, how delightful yoa mak me." She threw off her bonrtet and veil, and by Jove! she Was a total stranger. I had never seen her before! did not lose my self' possession, however. On the contrary, t threw rhyself into a chair and "a tijhed beftrtily;, although ray heart was rapidly inaking an exploring expedition away down into n boots. . My corojianiort happened to b a good looking young woman, evidebtly a domestic tn the house in question. My assurance astonished her at first, bat recovering herself, she asked if she should call for assistance, to pitch mt into the street. In the moat insinuating terms possible, I painted to her my mistake, implored her to for-trive me, and protested I had the rodSt remote idea of insulting one whom t Was Convinced was as pure as she was beautiful. That little piece of flattery secured -my favor. She forgave me. pointed to the door -and desired ,me to go, as she expected every moment a message from the par lor above in regard to lunch. I thanked her And turned to depart. Jost as I stepped toward the kitchen door,! heard the sound of feet descending the stairs. How should I escape? Where should I fly too? Quick as thought I darted into a tall closet that stood in the corner of the room. The upper part contained three shelves, but the lower part afforded me space enough to crowd into, doubled up. The girl immediately close.! the door on me and buttoned it. I did not feel very comfortable fastened up in that" box.. Suppose I should not be let out. But all fear of this was lost in still ereater apprehension, when I heard the voice of the male individual who had entered the kitchen I concluded to remain quietly where I was. As soon as he departed, the jrirl came to roe, and unbuttoning the door told me I had made a fortunate escape, and told me that if I did not wish to compromise both her and myself. I had bet er come out.of that dumb waiter and begone "Dumb-waiter I I exclaimed. "Am I in a dumb waiter, and liable to . be hoisted up in a twinkling to the parlor? ' Here was a fright. I nncoiled myself to escape; but just as I rose, away went the dumb. waiter to the ceiling with myself inside. The jar of the firt movement threw me back. I had no time to recover my feet and leap. I could but pull the door to as the box ascended, while th laiightef that am eted the girl in the kitchen went to.my hvart, aud smote me with a feeling akin to madness. I would have sold myself at that moment for three cents of any decent man's money You may ffttess exactly bo 1 looked when the dumb waiter having reached the dining room floor above, I beard the soond of half a dozen voices.

Anhie Linton was the best sewer in Mrs. Iioj's school; and the mistress declared, on inspecting the first shirt she made for her father, "That the Duke of Buccleuch ' himself might wear it!" This was high praise for little Annie, who was only eleven years of age; and she never forgot it, 'j Her work was the neatest and cleanest ever seen; : Then she did it so quickly, her mother could not keep p ice with her daily demand for "something to sew;" - "t wish Annie would take to her book," said tra. Linton to her husband, 3u. it was quite clear that Annie would never take-to her book; she had little reading and less spelling; and yet she could "mark" (rith cotton) all thd letters of the alphibet, ai if she was a very miracle of learning. - 'SSomeibiag to sew?" edgerly demanded An-n iei : ' -. . "AV'itlany mowing come to this sewing?" ask ed her father, with a very natural attempt at a pun. ' - v'"-.'"'-' ' ." - .'v ".-"' ''Those who do not sew sjjall not reap;" said little Anniej cJeVerly taking up her father's meait ng and her work bag at the same time, as she A-hiske l. past him in fear of being too late for school. Three week after: "Annie's learning to be a scholar," said Mrs. Linton; "no more demands for Sewing. - That afternoon Annie came boun ding into' the house . from school, sat upon her father's knee, opened her work-bag, which hung over ber arm, and putting a screwed up paper into, his hand, said; There's the mowing." Her father nndid the paper, and fydnd four half-crowns. "Annie," questioned her father, 'where did this come from?" - "From the sewing," answered Annie, laugh ing delightedly at his surprise, as she escaped from his knee, and ran out of the room, to de lay a little longer the solution of the riddle. . , " "Wife," said John Linton, "it is impossible that, Annie could earn all this by tbe sort ot child's play girls cull work; and whom did she earn it from? I'm afraid there's something wrong." And, to tell the truth, Annie .Linton was practising a little disguise; nor had she given her father all the money she had earned. The 8ura originally was twelve shillings. This as; all designed for her father aloue j but a prior claim had jome in the way. It was cold wiuter weather, and the children of the school brought their forms, in a sort of square, around Mrs. Roy's fire. Annie, who was a favorite of the j mistress, always occupied a warm corner close to ber own big chair. On the day ia question, Mrs. Roy happened to be ontof tbe room' TU change seats with you, Jessie Wilson, if; yon're cold," said Annie, addressing a little girl, a very book worm, who, clad in a threadbare printed cotton gown, sat sbiverirg over her les-Bon. ' v "' . " Jessie, thus invited, came a little nearer. "You should put on a woolen frock like mine, and warm yonrself well at your mother's fire before yon come to school these winter days," said Annie, Scrutinizing the poverty-struck ap pearance of lhe girl. "Mother says," replied Jessie, "that she'd rather do without a Ere than my schooling, and she Jcan't pay for both.'' "flas your mother nO fire at home this cold wea'her ?'' asked Annie, in amazement. "No," said Jessie; "I wish I dared bring her with me here- it's warmer thai) at home. And I know mother is ill, though she won't tell me." "Sit there," said Annie, plaeing Jessie in her warm corner ; "and don't go out of school with out me.". ". . " -. . That afternoon the two girls Went! hand in hand to Jessie's door. "flave you plenty to eat, if you've no fire ?" asked Annie. "This is the first day. mother has been forced to send me to school without any breakfast," said Jessie, hanging down her head, as if ashamed of the Confession. " "Here," said Annie, after a slight pause, nn twistme the paper in which were deposited her first; earnings ; "I won't go in with yon, tor your mother might not like to take it from a little girl like me ; but" and she put two shillings into Jessie's band "that is to buy yon something to eat, anda fire and, and, if your mother can sew as well as I cu," said Annie, with pardonable vanity, '"I can tell her bow to get plenty of mon ey to pay for both." No wonder Annie's riches increased ; the first investment was a good one. Nevertheless, the concealing it irom her parents she knew to be wron f be feared the w would disapprove of it ; and she added to her little prayer at night, after the osnal ending of -God bless father and motherand forgive me for keeping secret that I helped Jessie Wilson." Could the Recording Angel Carry ftp a purer prayer to Heaven?

" "WHEN I All DEAD;' In the dim crypts of the heart, where despair abideth, these words seem .written. A strange meaning a solemn IhVimatSon unfolds itself id their utterance. Four jeim pie aaonosyllables ; how much of gloom ye convey I How ye speak in funeral tones of the extinguishment of earth ly hope of tbe spirit that ha3 Struggled in vain, and is painfully quiet bow 1 : " When I am 'dead!" is uttered calmly; but what a calm 1 sncb as the tornado leaves, when silence broods above desolation. The voice r ro tt uncing that despairing phmsjs, has not all its mournfulness from 'itself. The listening ear hears something more; for from those words the groan of high aspirations quenched, and hopes pale and bleeding opon the sharp rocks of adversity, come np, phantom-like, amid the ghastly scenes of the buried past. "When I jua demrW'a nave beard it often like the pealing bell that tolls the body of the departed to its final rest. Tho last word, "dead" lingers strangely, and echoes sadly in the ear, and through the portals of the sympathising soul. Dead dead dead and the world grows gray, and the heart stills, aod the eye moistens, to that mysterious sound. - The spirit trenjjles before the rushing flood of conflicting emotions which follow the dark echo, and essays to glance through its import. But the echo fades amid encircling mist, and the spirit tarns back confused with blindness. . Even "the echo of death cannot be penetrated. The few feet of mould; that composes the grave are wider than the globe, higher than the stars. Not the "mind's eye, nor the- anxious soul can glance through the barrier the boundary between Time and Eternity, 'When I am dead!" More or less significance, resignation, or dependent wo, a fulfilment Of nature, or a perversion of its end, may these Words express, trlrftfgh Sad tHc'y at-e at best. " When the aged in an, whose Steps b ave grown feeble in ibe walks of goodness; " and whose band trembles . with tlie fruits' of his oft given charity, utters those word, they fall from bis lips as a prayer to Heaven; In therh", bis will harmonizes with his destiny; and the tear that starts for a superior soul -about to leave its clay; glistens in the light of happiness that gleams out of the heart, at the prospective reward of the future.' . - The lips, too. that never pressed the rim of the fount of Nature's- Poesy, may murmur, 'When I am dead!" but death to such an One is better, perhaps, than life. ; His heart hofds no music, chiming in .cadences to weal and wo his inward, existence is void, and. the rough, surface of his beitg. checkered, though not brightened, by stray half thoughts, darkens but little by the panoply of the tomb. " How diflvrent when youth, glowing with beau ty of soul and heart, rich with the treasurers of mind, and warm with sympathy for all of loveliness, sighs like the South wind, "When I am dead." A spirit seems to wail its end then; and an eclipse of tbe hoon-tide sun to fall upon the picture of a high naturechecked in its purposes turned from its dulcet waves upon a coral reef, gainst the rocks' of a destructive" shore. .. 1.111 .

There is a very old and beautiful story, that has formed the staple for poems in many tongues that we wish we could worthily tell. It is of one sailing upon the sea, in a 6leep without a dream. The ship was wrecked and shattered, and yet be slept. Tbe waves bore bim like an infant in a cradle, upon the plank whereon he lay, and when he awoke, it was with music, and upon .a couch of flowers. Tbe shore was strange yet lovely, and thronged with thousands who proclaimed him king. It seemed as if they had awaited him, waif tho' he was, for there was a throne witboat an occn-pant, and royal robes for his arraying. . All human wills seemed merged in bis, and glory shone around bim, even as the Sun of that fair,. unclouded clime. At length, there came to bim a reverend man, who told bim the time would , come, when exiled from bis kingdom, and powerless as be came, there would 'none so poor to do him reverence.' But, continued the aged sage, beyond the clouds that skirt this lovely land, lie unseen islands bare and drear j no fouutains sparkle and no flowers perfume j no music, bat the Wail of winds and waves do shelter, bat the shadow of a rock. Thither will they banish thee, and there thou must make thy inevitable home; But now, thou art supremely blest ; slaves do thy bidding, and gold strews thy pathway like the sand. So, seek that island out; cause the rock to be smitten, that it may gush with living water ; send fragrant flowers from tfcy gardens and spicy trees from forests ; tet the amaranth be iransplanted, and the palm shed pleasant shade, till the wilderness shall be glad for them, and 'the desert blossom as the rose.' Build there a royal mansion and fill it with all things pure and beautiful, that surround the now ; so shall thou have a Paradise at last, and go rejoicing into exile. The king was wise, and while he cherished the realm he ruled, yet sought the island, and 'colo nized,' as it were, the half of his heart Spring was persuaded to come that way, and-she hung her tube an the trees he had planted, and left her breath on the gate. The music of birds, aud fountaias, and winds among the leaves, floated round the new palace he had builded ; but noth ing of ail this had he ever beheld. Years went on, and the old royal glories grew dim, and tbe crown was tarnished, and, there was another wreck, a new king came sleeping to the shore, and he that had ruled in a palace, was not suffered so much as a shelter, for he was an exile, as the sage had prophesied. 'But he went not with a heavy heart, for sometimes, when the wind blew from the unseed shore, it had borne to him the fragrance of orange and : balm, and so be knew that his gardens were growing beautiful for his coming. And he laid oif tbe purple, like one disrobing for pleasant dreams, and put down the sceptre as if it had been a burden, and went away to his unseen home -with a 'good by' on bis lip, but a smile on his eye. : : And though none have seen the Eden he dwells in, yet sailors driven out to sea, declare that sometimes sweet odors have been wafted across the deck, from an unseen land, and by it they know that the gardens of Exile are near.

Tea, as the morning beverage, when breakfast forms a good substantial meal, upon which the powers of the day of meeting the various chan ces and changes of life depend, provided it be not too strong, is much to be recommended ; but when individuals eat little, coffee Certainly up. ports them in a more decided manner; and, be sides this, tea, without ascertain quantity of solid aliment, is much more likely to influence the nervous system. Some persons, if thev drink tea in the morning and coffee at night, suffer mnch in the animal spirits and in power of enjoyment of the pleasures of sosiety; but if they reverse the system, and take coffee in the morning and tea st night, they reap benefit from the change ; for the coffee, which to 'hem tri the morning is nutritious, becomes a stimulus at night; and the tea., which acts as a dilutent at night, gives noth ing to support exertions during the dav.
